In the end, please watch to Mike Greene detailed explanation about the two Kontakt versions >
Kontakt 5 no sound full version#
To check if your version of NI Kontakt is the full version rather than the Player open Kontakt and read the name in the title bar: if there is written “Player” after Kontakt, you don’t own the full version of Kontakt (or, if you own it, you could have to authorize it using the Service Center/Native Access application). Q: Am I using NI Kontakt Full version or NI Kontakt Player? Kontakt is a standalone product bought from Native Instruments or it’s part of the Komplete and Komplete Ultimate bundles. To know more, check out Native Instruments page here >. On the other side, NI Kontakt Player is a free application that hosts Native Instruments sample-based instruments as well as many third-party libraries. A full version of NI Kontakt provides you a complete set of samples’ editing tools and the possibility to run properly all FluffyAudio Libraries. Most of the sample-based instruments available in the market are built up using Native Instrument Kontakt audio engine.
With Kontakt 6 NI dropped the version number just to confuse you.Q: What is the difference between Kontakt and Kontakt Player?Ī: Kontakt is the most widespread sampler, produced by Native Instruments. If you upgraded prior to the release of Kontakt 6, then it should say "kontakt 5" or whatever lower version you have.
Kontakt 5 no sound upgrade#
When did you upgrade to the full version of Kontakt? If you upgraded after Kontakt 6 was released, then somewhere in your PC it should say "kontakt" meaning the full Kontakt 6 version. Those are Player versions you listed, the free versions that often won't work with higher end 3rd party developers Kontakt programs that require the full version of Kontakt.
You are correct regarding how Kontakt and Kontakt player works.

My last resort will be to uninstall everything I find called Kontakt (I don't see any "uninstall" options, so I guess I'd just delete the files?) and start over, but hoping someone has insight.Based on the above, it seems you don't have a license for Kontakt or it's not installed. My last resort will be to uninstall everything I find called Kontakt (I don't see any "uninstall" options, so I guess I'd just delete the files?) and start over, but hoping someone has insight.Īny clues appreciated. WTF is going on? Why do I have three? What the flip is "Player 2?" And why are they ALL named "Player?" Shouldn't one just be called Kontakt? As far as I can tell based on version numbers, the last one should be the pay one, but not sure.Īny clues appreciated. Kontakt Player 2 (v 0.0.0.nice versioning system on that one! I guess some old one that I've no idea how it got installed)
Kontakt 5 no sound update#
I then opened up NI Access thinking maybe it's some update I need, and they show me having THREE versions of Kontakt (?), named as follows: Since this is happening with every plugin, including some I know are legit with NI, that would point to me using the free one vs the pay one. Reading up on this it seems there are two likely reasons: either I'm using the free player when the plugin needs the pay one, or the plugin itself isn't set up to be used in Kontakt (apparently they have to pay NI and NI registers their plugin somehow). Problem: EVERY plugin I open is in demo mode. Up-front info: I initially installed "Kontakt Player" (their goofball name for the free version) and later got Kontakt (the standard pay version). Ugh I so hate this company and their convoluted way of doing things.but there are a lot of plugins I'm interested in that, unfortunately, use it, so I'm trying to play along.
